Viking Hirdmen 3

Hirdmen were the elite warriors of a Viking force. They were far better equipped than the rank and file Bondi, wearing fine mail shirts and carrying well-crafted swords and axes. These men made up the personal retinue of Viking Jarls and Kings and would be at the forefront of any battle, desperate to prove there worth to be mentioned in a victory saga or to join their ancestors in Valhalla through a heroic and glorious death.
